I hate the term "nodes" and I don't like the other suggestions much better :-). How about this:
layout/html (i.e., your "corenodes")
Then put forms and tables under html:
layout/html/forms
layout/html/table


I really don't like using "html" here.  The forms stuff is somewhat
HTML-specific, but most of the rest isn't, and I don't see why it should
be called HTML.  Our implementation of HTML is in content/html/ and in
html.css.


Technically that's true, but 99% of the time that code is being used to render HTML. Furthermore if I was a newbie and looking for block and line stuff, that would lead me to the right place. OTOH, "corenodes" wouldn't mean much to me and "xml" or "css" would probably discourage me from looking there.


I've had trouble finding things *because* they were under 'html', which
I erroneously assumed meant HTML-specific. How about 'generic'?

/layout/generic/table

That's not great, but I guess it's better than all the other suggestions I've heard so far :-).


Or 'box', since it's layout "boxes" we're dealing with?

/layout/box/table

"Box" was unfortunately usurped by XUL.
